[QUOTE="tomsd, post: 2790647, member: 74603"] Beautiful answer. Wish I had read this before I let my gunsmith (who built Sniper rigs for Navy Seals here in SD) - rebarrel the custom barrel on the ole Springfield 06 (due to throat erosion he said). It was my dad's hunting rifle when I was growing up - I carried it a few times - and think he won it in a card game. Usually for hunting big Mulies - I had the Winchester lever action Model 94/32 Winchester special - with a 4x fixed Weaver Scope - but the 30.06 also had a custom Timney trigger and a beautiful blond stock and 3x9 40 MM Simmons scope. The very last shot from that rig was DEAD CENTER - and I mean - DEAD CENTER - at 100 yards. The new barell - never did really break it in - Aggggg - was snooting about 3 inches - and I sold it to my buddy - whose Uncle had originally built it He wanted it more for sentimental sake - and I bought am inexpensive Mossberg in 30.06 - which shoots just fine for hunting purposes - a little over an inch with factory ammo.
